Bringing a product to Türkiye?

Veterinary medicines, veterinary health products, feed additives and pet products: we support foreign companies and their Turkish partners with written, source-linked scientific and regulatory work.

The route

Every product needs a Turkish partner.

In Türkiye, veterinary medicinal products are authorised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The rules differ by product type, but three facts shape almost every entry plan.

  1. A Turkish applicant

    Only a holder of the Ministry's activity permit (iştigal izni) can apply for a marketing authorisation for a veterinary medicinal product. The permit requires a marketing authorisation officer, whose continued employment is documented every January. A foreign manufacturer therefore applies through a Turkish partner, such as an importer, a distributor or its own subsidiary, and authorises that partner in writing.

  2. Documents in Turkish

    The summary of product characteristics, the package leaflet and the label are submitted in Turkish, prepared according to the Ministry's guidance.

  3. A route for each product type

    Non-medicinal veterinary health products are notified to the Ministry before they are produced, imported or placed on the market. For veterinary biologicals, each imported or produced batch needs a sales permit from the Bornova Veterinary Control Institute. Feed additives and pet food follow the feed legislation.

This overview is general information, not legal advice; the legislation in force applies.

Boundaries

Clear boundaries.

  • We do not file applications on your behalf and do not guarantee approval.
  • We work in writing; every statement is linked to its source.
  • Advice is given by HT-CURA, not on behalf of any university or public authority. We decline work that would create a conflict of interest and take no academic assignments.
